UKAS ISO 17025 accredited Pendulum testing across Swindon — to BS 7976 and HSE standards. Reports your insurer, HSE inspector and court will recognise. We don't sell flooring, coatings or anti-slip products.
Swindon's central position on the M4 between Bristol and Reading made it a natural choice for major distribution centres and corporate operations — Honda built its UK manufacturing plant here for decades, Nationwide Building Society's HQ remains, and the town hosts substantial logistics activity around the Greenbridge and Cheney Manor estates. The Designer Outlet, the Brunel Centre and the Great Western Hospital round out a varied slip-testing profile.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, every duty holder in Swindon — from a single shop owner to a national retail estate — has a legal obligation to assess and manage slip risk. A UKAS-accredited Pendulum Test Value (PTV) report is the strongest documented evidence available, and it carries the same weight in Swindon as it does anywhere else in the UK.
Surface Performance Ltd, trading as Test-Slip, has UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation — the highest level of laboratory accreditation in the UK. We don't sell flooring, coatings, mats or anti-slip retrofits. The only thing we sell is the test, the report, and the qualified opinion behind both — so the result you get is the result the floor produced, not the result that suits a sales pipeline.
Swindon's economy generates slip-risk environments that vary by sector. Each one requires a slightly different testing approach, and our engineers in Swindon, Wiltshire and the M4 corridor between London and Bristol are familiar with the operational realities of each.
Logistics and distribution at Greenbridge, Cheney Manor and the M4 corridor.
Corporate offices including Nationwide HQ and Intel UK.
Retail at the Designer Outlet, the Brunel Centre and the Orbital.
Beyond these focal areas, we test floors across hospitality, healthcare, education, transport, public-sector buildings and food production right across the Designer Outlet, the Brunel Centre, Old Town, Greenbridge and the Great Western Hospital — and the wider Wiltshire region.
Every Pendulum slip test in Swindon produces a Pendulum Test Value (PTV) figure. The HSE classifies floors against this value — a single accredited test gives you the evidence to demonstrate which zone your floor sits in.
